A degree from the Forestry and Watershed Management Department at Humboldt State can equip you to indeed grow, cut down and replant and re-grow trees (Production Management Option) but you can also learn how to manage forests to make them more fire resistant (Wildland Fire Option) or to accelerate old growth characteristics or other intrinsic values of forests (Forest Conservation Option).

The Department administers several different academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate level.
